Effective marketing isn't created as a result of people running around screaming "disaster! calamity!", it's created by people actually doing the work of creating comparisons and other promotional material. Considering your earlier burst of enthusiasm, I find your "someone else will have to come up with something tangible" attitude to be a little inexplicable. :-) That's just not how things get done around here. > Gee, is linux really the better one as well as the most publicized? The only problem I see here is that people don't agree on what "better" means, nor do they necessarily know how to quantify it when they see it in words that others can understand. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
